To be a great chef, it isn’t enough to be able to conjure one amazing dish after another, you need to design a process that will allow you or even others to make your original creations in large volumes at a very fast pace, and all without sacrificing quality.
Miko Aspiras is a great chef in every sense of the word, not just because he knows food, but because he knows how to organize an efficient working kitchen, a favorite partner of Miko when it comes to completing great kitchens is SM Home.
The kitchen is in fact the most functional room in virtually any home. A kitchen is a work space, and its layout must inevitably conform as closely as possible to its function. Cooking appliances, baking appliances, pots, pans, and utensils, storage spaces, refrigerators and freezers, work tables or counters all need to be positioned with an underlying logic that is both a function of efficiency, and preferences of those who use the kitchen.
“When I have to work in a poorly planned kitchen, or even just a kitchen that I am unaccustomed to, it is like cooking with one hand tied behind my back.” Says celebrity chef Miko Aspiras, “Mistakes are made, food gets wasted, time and energy are wasted, and the quality of the final output definitely almost always suffers perceptibly.” “The more sophisticated the food you plan to prepare is, the more imperative it is that your kitchen bewell organized; volume is also a factor, more food requires better planned space.” Finally he adds “In a well planned kitchen, you know where everything is, nothing you need is far out of reach. Food being prepared “flows” according to a process, and the distance between where it is, and where it needs to be next is never too far.”
So what is exactly is a well planned kitchen according to Chef Miko? “A well planned kitchen starts with a wealth of options, options such as lines of appliances, kitchenware, and storage spaces; the more options you have, the easier it is to find specific solutions that suit your space, your needs and your preferences; when it comes to having a wealth options, you really can’t go wrong with SM Home.”
